USS Agamemnon

Details

The IFT is devoted to keeping alive many of the ideals and philosophies brought forth in Star Trek. These include, but are not limited to, racial harmony, space exploration, and the respect of all forms of life. We must remember that the promise of tomorrow will not be fulfilled easily. The collective commitment of our nations, as well as the vision, wisdom, and hard work of many, many individuals will be required to bring our dreams to fruition. In a way, the Enterprise and the optimistic future in which it exists might be thought of as a reminder of what we can achieve when we really try.

Description:

USS Agamemnon

It was with this in mind that, on June 1st, 1984 the International Federation of Trekkers was founded. Known at that time as the "Ohio Federation of Trekkers," the organization and its founding chapter, the USS Conquest was based in Cleveland, Ohio. What started off rather small grew beyond the boundaries of the state of Ohio and into other states and countries. This growth was instrumental in legally changing the organization's name to the International Federation of Trekkers. In the late 1980's IFT defined its position and changed its newsletter from the "Federation Log" to the "IFT Newsletter." This new publication featured articles on the environment, space program from around the world and education.
